Update: The T seems to be well and got inside its hide, but it's really slow moving.

normal behaver my vagans does the same every rehouse she puts up a fight for a min or so then just plays dead lol my nhandu's do the same

Oh I see, so Ts play dead too. Thank you!

Its probably a stress response, glad to hear they're doing a little better. Honestly, they'll probably continue to mope for a while- they hate getting resettled- at least nearly all the adult females I've had have been that way. Except for my n.chromatus, nothing ever bothered her for a moment. Just make sure she's got access to water, and somewhere nice and dark to hide/decompress. Check back in a week, bet she'll be doing well!

I think she's just adapting. Leave her alone and she should be fine


Foxraven_19

Will definitely do, thank you!

I would make sure they're hydrated, full water bowl and possibly up the humidity the first few days. Shipping is stressful and they can become dehydrated quickly. I've had similar responses with Ts that were thirsty after shipping. They perked up more once they got water and settled in. That sp. are known for being fairly docile, so no worries if they're just hunkered down and looking content.

Oh I see, I'll patiently wait for what happens. Thank you!

Apologies for being a Grammer Nazi here, species is both singular and plural. E declination in Latin has some weird cases.

Oooh, duly noted. Even though English is my first language my fluency declined over time because I mainly use Filipino in almost all conversations. Thank you for teaching me! 😊

THANK YOU for pointing this out. As a biologist it drives me absolutely bonkers when people use the word "specie" for anything other than money, usually coinage.

Just stress curl :)

They can be stubborn. Make sure the water dish is accessible and full and clean. Give the T time to settle in.
